Noisetrade is an online music distribution service. Among
its functions, it gives acts a way "to freely distribute your music online, and
enable your fans to virally promote it," and to capture fan information and
collect donations. (Although the download is free, patrons have the chance to
leave a "tip.")

Downloaders don't have to go through a full registration to
collect a download code for the Hangout Music Fest Mixtape, but they must provide
an e-mail address and a ZIP code. To find the album, go to www.noisetrade.com and search for "Hangout,"
or click here.
